Children don't see race part 1

Gwon and Liana were again hanging out in her room. Gwon still didn't speak human language, but Liana was slowly learning the grey skin language. The communication was still very stuffy between them, but as kids, they didn't care about it.

Liana was especially curious about the outside world. She always asked all kinds of questions from Gwon and tried to paint a picture in her head how the world looked like.

"So how many people live in the city?"

"Many. At least a hundred."

"...a hundred," Liana said who had seen that many people inside the royal palace many times.

"Do you want to see the city? Gwon asked.

Liana became shy and silent.

"Ah…I don't know…. people really don't like me, and Rufus said not to wander outside the palace," Liana explained.

"LET'S GO ALREADY!"

Liana was feeling hesitant since people only had negative thoughts about her family name. If people would get to know that she was the daughter of the previous king she could get into trouble.

Gwon then dragged Liana again by her arm. Liana's face yelled out ", not this shit again..."

Gwon dragged on Liana and then carried her in his arms. He jumped from the window with Liana screaming as loud as she could like last time. Gwon jumped around the ledges of the royal palace like a cat and got to the roof of the royal palace. Liana sighed in relief that it had ended but Gwon started to run towards the edge of the palace as Liana looked and screamed," no, no, no, no, no, NO!"

Gwon jumped from and started to fall with Liana screaming as loud as she could. He then landed safely onto the ground and then jumped over the fence to the other side. Gwon dropped Liana and smiled at her hoping she would be happy.

"WHY DID YOU DO THAT!?"

Gwon didn't understand a word she yelled at him and just smiled ignorantly.

Liana then looked around and saw all the people walking around the city. She had never seen so many people at once. Her eyes and heart had gotten a special treat.

Gwon then took Liana with her through the streets. Liana closed her eyes as she was afraid of people staring at her. She peeked and then opened her eyes fully. No one looked at her. They didn't know or recognize her.

Gwon took her to a stall where they sold street food that smelled wondrous. The vendor was a grey skin who recognized Gwon instantly.

"Oh look at that. Well if it isn't Gwon?" the grey skin man said with a smile.

"Hi, this is Liana, my friend," Gwon said and showed her to them.

"Look at that. Good for you kid to get a girlfriend," the grey skin said and winked at Gwon.

"Isn't that the little Gwon that helped us to build this house with the Raja," a female grey skin said when he saw Gwon.

"Yeah, remember when he caught all the rats in the construction site," The grey skin man said.

"Have you eaten anything yet?" the female asked.

"Here you go. For you and your little girlfriend," the male grey skin said and gave him a small cup of dumplings with two small picks to eat them with.

Gwon offered some to Liana who had never seen street food in her entire life. It was very different from the fine dining style food she had been accustomed to. She hesitated at first but then gave it a shot and was surprised at how good it was.

"Come on husband. Give them some more," the woman grey skin said.

"Seriously? We should not give out free food. It's bad for business," the male grey skin pointed out.

"And neither should a kid be working for free and anyways he is with the Raja. Show some respect, this kid is obviously really important," the woman pointed out.

The man agreed and then gave another small bowl of different kinds of dumplings to the two of them. The two of them ate the dumplings fast with both of them liking them very much.

Liana bowed and thanked in the politest way. The grey skin couple was taken by such polite manners.

"You know Gwon, you should learn some manners from her," the male grey skin pointed out.

"Yeah, yeah, just give me some more food."

"NO MORE FREE FOOD."

Many humans and grey skins looked at two children from two different races. It showed that the color of your skin doesn't matter to children so why should it matter to adults.

One human man looked at the two of them very curiously.
